Zwiebelkuchen



Zwiebelkuchen, which literally means onion cake in the German language, is a one-crust pie made of onions, diced bacon and caraway seed on a leavened dough. It is particularly popular in Swabia, although a similar pie called Flammkuchen is also eaten in Alsace. Usually it is served hot with a glass of wine in the evening. In the fall, however, it is traditionally accompanied by Federweisser, a very new wine.
